Two games in Los Angeles, two fantastic win for the Chicago Bulls.
On a new episode of the Bulls Beat, the lads discuss the Bulls’ impressive wins against the Clippers and Lakers, including the work Billy Donovan has done to make key adjustments without Nikola Vucevic.
The guys also discuss whether Alex Caruso should continue to start, the embarrassing roster the Lakers have surrounded LeBron James and Anthony Davis with, and how the Lakers passing on Caruso and DeMar DeRozan has been to the betterment of the Bulls.
From there, a discussion breaks out on the Vucevic trade and, knowing what we know now, if the deal stills makes sense.
Finally, the show closes with Fred offering some advice in the form of seduction techniques, including the importance of acoustic renditions of Air Supply and REO Speedwagon classics.

The Kings of the East

The Bulls beat the Brooklyn Nets, which begs the obvious question: Are the Bulls the new Kings of the East?
On a new Bulls Beat, Doug, Mark and Fred discuss the way the current landscape is shaping up, which, at present, has no dominant team, thus leaving the door ajar for a team like the Bulls to sneak in an unlikely title run.
After his fantastic performance against the Nets, Fred waxes poetic about Ayo Dosunmu, as well as slandering those people who hated the Ayo draft pick.
In other news, Coby White getting closer to a return, conversation turns to how White will garner minutes, especially with Ayo emerging as a real rotational player.
Later in the show, some fake trades! This time, grand plans are hatched to steal Harrison Barnes from the Kings.
Finally, the show closes with a deep dive into Nikola Vucevic’s severe slump to start the season, and an argument develops about Scottie Pippen and his constant shots at the Bulls and Michael Jordan.

Two extremely impressive wins against the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics have Doug, Mark and Fred in a very good mood.
The lads posit if there needs to be a collective adjustment made on how good this Bulls team actually can be in a wide-open title fight.
Also on the show, some love for DeMar DeRozan, who has been instrumental in carrying the Bulls whilst Zach LaVine learns to live with a thumb injury.
The platitudes don't stop there, with some early Billy Donovan coach of the year predictions, as well as the prophet suggesting Ayo Dosunmu will win the Rookie of the Year.
All that and much more on the Bulls Beat!
